Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dust pollution in workplaces has become a critical issue that poses serious threats to the safety and occupational health of workers. Therefore, the efficient control of dust in workplaces has significant research value. Based on this, this Special Issue aims to publish state-of-the-art technologies for dust control across various production and operational settings. The scope covers typical dust sources, including mining, tunnel construction, metal and powder processing, thermal power plants, cement plants, and waste incineration. Research topics encompass the optimization and enhancement of conventional dust control technologies (such as spraying, ventilation, dust collectors, foam suppression, and chemical suppressants), the application of emerging technologies and materials (including nano-coating, electrostatic and pulsed spraying, and bio-based suppression), digitalization and intelligent control (such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and digital twins), and the development of integrated dust control systems. This Special Issue is dedicated to synthesizing advances in dust control across diverse operational settings, thereby facilitating the effective development and application of dust control technologies under different working conditions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
